"That First Taste"


A lighting fixture inside Tamale Hut Cafe
 
The story goes that Dom Perignon, great contributor to the art of winemaking, said to his fellow monks after first tasting champagne, "Come quickly: I am tasting the stars."

A story for the first taste of tequila: After a sip of the liquid he saw spilling from the heart of a tortured agave plant, a man said to his friends, "Guys, you know that 'lightning' thing we see in the sky when it rains? Dude, one day, people are going to harness power like that for use inside their homes, and it's going to be insane," upon which he passed out.

I can only imagine the strange lights and unexplained currents that accompanied that first taste of tequila.
